10 New Intel-Based Tablets To Be Unveiled at Computex

Intel plans to introduce more than 10 new tablets at the Computex trade show, which May 31 to June 4 in Taipei, Taiwan, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Furthermore, Intel's general manager for Asia-Pacific, Navin Shenoy, said we can expect to see more than 35 tablets based on Intel chips in 2011. The company doesn't expect any impact from the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in March, Shenoy said.

In April, Intel chief Paul Otellini promised the company will deliver this year tablets based on Android, MeeGo and Windows operating system. Intel is also working on Medfield, a chip designed for smartphones, but we'll have to wait another 12 months until we see Medfield-powered smartphones on the market.

The world of tablets is dominated by ARM-designed chips, but Intel hopes to catch up with its new Oak Trail chips, designed specifically for tablets.
